The Lack of Void Elf Customization Options

[Visna-silvermoon]

Oooh Laaandrieeen check what I’ve got here from Faebelina https://imgur.com/a/7n5ARlV I like her hairstyle concepts more! I’m literally in love with them and would drop to my knees and beg to have them!

Also feel free to join us in our discord here for Void elf discussions and suggestions https://discord.gg/2mPcwhfb

I loved these! They blend the tentacles well, in a way they enhance the looks!

Thanks for the invite, but i’m already on it.

[Visna-silvermoon]

IKR the tentacles are woven into the hair!

@Landrien-turalyon

i’m already on it.

Really?? I didn’t know you were there! You should poke me and say hi sometime

[Elquin-argent-dawn]

Excited to turn the tentacles off but I quite like Tahra’s ideas too!

These are so pretty

With customization options, the more the better Back in Vanilla, each race had a limited gamut of faces to choose from, so it was common to stroll around Orgrimmar and see a lot of your character’s long lost siblings.

This is much less common now, but it can only improve Those Elven haircuts are indeed very pretty. Anything else you can think of? We’re all ears (Those are eyes, but you get my drift)

@Dodcoszmau

Anything else you can think of?

Some options for all the races with long point eyebrows to have them trimmed or half-trimmed etc. (I say all so I won’t excluse any)

More scars, tattoos, eye colours across the board.

Also now that I’m thinking of stuff, and this is not related to character customization but individual glove transmogrification could be a nice addition to expand upon the system.

Aaand… ever since we got those glasses I’ve been meaning to make a thread and/or send feedback to request cosmetic eye-patches as well, so please if anything I’d love for that request to be considered I’m sure many other people would love those too!

Light Blue hair for Void Elves please <33
Same as the one that Blood Elves have.

We really appreciate you are taking part in customizations. As a role player and a transmoger this makes me happy beyond words.

• N’zoth colored eyes for Void elves?

I know some Void elf fans would be really happy to have this option.

And maybe even a Elven tattoos (like Alleria Windrunner) for both Blood elves and Void elves? But PLEASE make the tattoo colors separate for each race. Example:

Blood elves can have Red, yellow, and Green tattoos

Void elves can have Blue and purple tattoos.

This would really make many Elven Rangers and Warcraft 2 fans happy.

Thank you

Hi, I talked to a lot of people who like Void/High Elves and most of us really want new hair styles but also tattoos that look similar to Alleria’s.

The thing I want the most is eyebrow customization options, I would really like if we could get shorter eyebrows and more natural looking, similar options like the ones Night Elves and Nightborne got.

Also some makeup options would be amazing.
Thank you for replying, it really made my day.

Please let us customize our Entropic Embrace form!!!

Customizable Entropic Embrace skins

Hi Linxy! Could you please tell the team we would LOVE to be able to customize our Entropic Embrace form in the character creation screen just like Worgen players can customize both their Human and Worgen forms? This way we could add so much diversity to our Void Elves. Imagine we want to play our Void Elves with a regular looking body, but when Entropic Embrace activates, we could customize it in a way that my hairstyle activates its tentacles, or that my eye color changes to something else, a…

Hi @Dodcoszmau !

I decided to make a detailed post for Void Elf customization wishlist so that our customization can finally be properly finished (for some time ofc) This includes many suggestions that would really please everyone!

And while I’m still posting, I would like to share a thread I made the other day and I hope at least one Dev reads it and let the others know of my suggestion to let us Shadow Priest be able to choose Shadowforms (all 6 versions since Classic) via Barbershop, the same way druids are able to choose their Bear, Cat, Travel forms. All of these versions are still in the game files so I doubt that there would be too much work

I would really appreciate it if someone with TL3 can post the photos & links as well <3

[Visna-silvermoon]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your reply Dodcoszmau!

Here is a list of suggestions by order of priority supported by the community of both void elf and high elf fans:

Males: https://imgur.com/a/pepFpJU

Tattoos:

Note: It’s a good idea to share tattoos with our Blood elf cousins, albeit of different colouring to secure some unique combos.

Please pass these on to the team, it would be really appreciated!

I wanted to add that a lot of players would like a Sub-race option, a lot of us would really like to have an options to be called differently.

• Void Elves should have High Elf as an option
• Dwarves should have Wildhammer as an option
• Trolls should have Sandtroll as an option

Thank you!

Sub-race names & templates tied to the new customization options

Many people are pointing out that some allied races feel lacking in terms of customization. Others are saying that whatever additional customization we are given for the core races in Shadowlands, it won’t be as cool as getting a proper allied race and we are just going to be the same Bronzebeard dwarves and Darkspear trolls as always. So here’s hope Blizzard can possibly consider the addition of some kind of optional templates within the new character customization screen. The assumption is t…

Change race name to Wildhammer

Hello! Considering we Wildhammer Dwarves were unjustly robbed of our rightful Allied Race status, I formally request you, Blizzard, to give us the option of changing our race name from “Dwarf” to “Wildhammer Dwarf”. I would also like to ask for our own racials, or change our default Bronzebeard racials to something more appropriate to Wildhammer Dwarves. This user from the US forums offers good suggestions: Also, having our own Heritage Armour would be great. Thank you, Blizzard!

[Mechabone-argent-dawn]

Love the stuff so far with the regular hair and skin colours.
But I’d love more void corrupted customisation options, to look even more void infused. For example N’zoth/C’thun like slit eyes. Different tentacles and such.

Edit: Also even if I know this is a Void elf thread, I have to shamelessly plug for the silver and rustic colouration of the mechagnome heritage set, at the moment we only have the golden one available for players even if the others exist in the files and are used by NPCs, I think this is extra important for mechagnomes since we can’t hide our limbs so at the moment our heritage set only matches if we use the golden colour on our limbs.

[Vinnem-eonar]

I think you are taking liberties with customization options. There is no way Kul’tirans are on top if you try to make a male on and see like 3 faces, beards and hair styles.

[Serenå-argent-dawn]

@Vinnem-eonar

I think you are taking liberties with customization options. There is no way Kul’tirans are on top if you try to make a male on and see like 3 faces, beards and hair styles.

I counted options for females as I said in the post, I don’t really play male characters so I didn’t bother with it.

But if you want you can make a thread and request their customization options there!

@Dodcoszmau

Anything else you can think of? We’re all ears

Well, I mean Blues paying attention to all the customisation threads and not just Void Elf ones, even posting Void Elf stuff in other racial threads would be a start! (Nightborne thread). It doesn’t exactly help the perception that Void Elves are getting all the attention and no one else!

More seriously, I think you’ve got a pretty good idea as to what people want here, more Voidy customisation to go with the Void Elf aesthetic. EE could look wonderful, Those haircut ideas are pretty awesome, whilst still remaining ‘voidy’ if the colours are as shown. Play up more on the Chaotic element of Void Elves, or rather the chaos they try to control, I like the ethos that they -try- to control it, but every now and then it is like a mental ‘valve’, it has to be allowed to ‘shine’ through in order that the Void Elf can control it usually.

I actually think the Void Elves -should- get a bit more ‘oomph’ for their racials in keeping with what they are, some of the racials are a bit underwhelming (Nightborne again, they can summon a mailbox? Seriously? Mag’har get 10% riding speed increase -except- when it would be useful? )

EE is pretty much a bit flimsy as racials go, rendering the crux of what a Void Elf is, a bit weak, not people who are daily having to battle against the whispers and one of the very fundamental cosmic building blocks of the entire Universe and cosmological system.

I don’t even think that all the Blood Elf facial options ported over to Void Elves, and hairstyles would go amiss, and maybe a bit of pro-quid pro, some of the tentacle-less VE hairstyles would look absolutely baddonkey on Blood Elves, the two that spring to mind are the kind of bedraggled hanging over the face like a Metal star look (Must admit, used that on my Void Elf) or the Sidecut option.

But some of the Blood Elf hair options would look pretty cool on Void Elves, Imagine a Void Elf with the Lor’themar style Topknot, but where the Topknot is tentacly? That would look pretty amazing, and be kind of thematic, the Void Elf is trying to control and constrain the Void, even by the simple visible method of binding their hair ‘out of sight, out of mind’.

@Nagrash-draenor

I’ve been meaning to make a thread and/or send feedback to request cosmetic eye-patches as well,

There’s quite a few options there, already, for all races, or do you mean specifically ones that work when wearing open faced helms? As yeah, I can see that being pretty cool.

@Dranaio-terokkar

Light Blue hair for Void Elves please <33
Same as the one that Blood Elves have.

Good option, and thematically sound. I mean don’t get me wrong, I -love- the actual Black haired option for Belves, my Belf Warlock can now be the black haired with a Pixie cut tomboy she was always RP’d as, but the slightly bluey/purpley black hair colour would fit for Void Elves,

@Marcilia-sylvanas

And maybe even a Elven tattoos (like Alleria Windrunner) for both Blood elves and Void elves? But PLEASE make the tattoo colors separate for each race. Example:

Blood elves can have Red, yellow, and Green tattoos

Void elves can have Blue and purple tattoos.

So much this. It would even fit with the depiction of Rangers since WC2 as mentioned. The Celt Fan in me would love Blue ‘woad’ for Blood Elves (Wouldn’t show up so well for Void Elves, but equally Black would work instead of Yellow, or rather make yellow (Not gold) an option for Void Elves, because it -would- show up against their skin colour, whereas on Belves not so much, Black however would.

Tattoos and Warpaint as people have said, are Thalassian options, and should be for all. Possibly with different thematic styles to match what a Void Elf is…

[Dodcoszmau]

That’s quite some input in such a short time! It shows that a lot of you have been thinking about this for quite a while. Thanks a lot for sharing

And indeed, it’s clear what most of you fine folks would like to see for the future. “A bit more oomph” is a good way to describe it, as well Brigante said. I’m sure the future of character customization will be bright, not just for Alleria’s brethren but for everyone!

[Visna-silvermoon]

Ahem, can we have Void elf druids and shamans while we’re at it? Or Void-corrupted paladins and dark shamans?!
